Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability.

Happiness is never grand.

The moment you choose to be accountable for all outcomes in your life, you distance yourself from the position of a victim and assume the role of a change agent.

It’s difficult to accept full responsibility and apportion blame at the same time – you have to choose one.

We all have within ourselves the inclination to try to pass the blame to others when things don’t work in our favour. The ultimate challenge comes from suppressing this innate desire and replacing it with accountability and ownership for all things, good or bad.

One of the greatest obstacles to success is the belief is that your future is predetermined. It isn’t. You decide the outcomes through your decisions and actions.

It’s easy to play the victim card (all of us have done this), but this mindset is one of the greatest obstacles to progress and growth.

Taking consistent action is guaranteed to increase the probability of your success. When combined with proper planning and perseverance, there are no heights you cannot attain.

The willingness to burn your ships, cut off all sources of retreat, and take decisive action is often the only assured path to success.

You may spend much time and energy in preparation that you forget that the most important and essential step is action.

Action is where sacrifice is honoured and where you require persistence and courage to endure all that life throws in your direction.

Although a decision is often viewed as the turning point, it is action that creates tangible results.

Never allow your life to be dictated by what you can see by sight, be guided by your inner vision.

Create in your mind a picture of what you want and then live that vision as if it already exists.

A vision is a promise of the future as seen in the present.

Vision inspires and clarifies what needs to be done in the present to achieve the promise of the future.

To achieve success, you need to develop the ability to see through your mind’s eye continuously.

The most successful individuals and leaders achieve their dreams because they have a clear vision they have committed their life to.

Success is built on what you are able to see and create with your mind.

The difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don’t is in their ability to see not only with their eyes but also their minds.
